Luz parpadeante
︎
La Mujer mira su celular. Actualiza la pantalla. No hay mensajes nuevos. Lo bloquea y lo vuelve a encender. Daniel se acerca lentamente.
HOMBRE: Has estado aquí un rato.
MUJER: No te escuché llegar.
El hombre se sienta a su lado.
HOMBRE: Me escribiste como si algo estuviera mal.
MUJER: Te escribí tres veces. No respondiste.
HOMBRE: (Mirando al suelo) No sabía qué decir.
MUJER: Entonces no dijiste nada.
La farola parpadea. Ella se levanta.
MUJER: No te pedía que arreglaras todo. Solo necesitaba que estuvieras ahí.
HOMBRE: Estaba ahí, solo que no como tú querías.
MUJER: (Respirando hondo). Estar ahí también es responder. Aunque sea incómodo.
El hombre asiente y la mira.
HOMBRE: Ahora estoy aquí.
La mujer duda un momento y vuelve a sentarse. La luz se queda fija. Se quedan en silencio, con los celulares boca abajo entre los dos.
